I am interested in buying another bird (I now have a cockatiel) and have
the opportunity to buy a hand-fed baby Jenday for about $400.  I am told that
Jendays are quieter than Nandays, like to clown around, and are reasonable
talkers.  Does $400 sound like a good price?  I haven't found any Jendays
anywhere else, so it's hard to compare.  Does anyone know mature Jendays?
Do they get aggressive or nippy when they get older?  How do the male and
female differ in personality?  I live in a duplex so I have to be 
sensitive to the amount of noise they make.

I was also interested in the Quaker parrot, but understand they're illegal
in Massachusetts.  Just for future reference, can anyone tell me about
them? 

Thanks,

Linda
